Something I've been working on

Many of you will not find this interesting, and that's okay.
A few weeks ago, Davyd made the suggestion that window borders should be entirely stylable using CSS. I thought this was a wonderful idea and wrote some code around it.
Then it occurred to me that the people who would most enjoy playing with CSS theming are not necessarily the same people who are willing to compile a test program and a bunch of libraries. So I made a wiki. On this wiki, you enter some CSS into a page, and the system turns it into window borders and shows it on the finished page.
That was the easy part. However, I now have to port all the major themes to CSS in order to demonstrate the system before I make it public. So far I have about six of fourteen ported. Also, in so doing I'm uncovering lots of bugs in my initial implementation. So it might be a week or so before it goes public.
However, if any of you enjoy writing CSS and think styling window borders is interesting, I'd be interested to have your help. Let me know.
